After an unknown amount of time, Link slowly woke up.
But he didn't open his eyes immediately. Instead, he observed the large amount of information flashing before him.
[Eos (Goddess of Dawn) Potion has been consumed]
[Spirit Power +20%]
[Total Magic Power +10%]
[Magic Control +25%]
[Overall Magic Talent Rank +2]
[Magic Affinity Rank +5]
Other than these clearly displayed messages, Link also discovered, to his surprise, that the experience bars of many skills he had mastered had increased by a large amount.
This was something Link had absolutely not expected.
Because aside from the King's Blood, he had never encountered any external item that could increase his skill experience bars.
Although the experience boost brought by the Eos (Goddess of Dawn) Potion couldn't compare to the King's Blood at all, it was still enough to prove how powerful this potion was.
Not to mention that the potion had also increased Link's spirit power, total magic power, and magic control.
On the surface, the numbers for these three attributes didn't seem that high.
But they were percentage increases after all.
Combined with Link's already powerful base attributes, the bonuses became rather outrageous.
Of course, the most valuable parts were still the final two increases related to overall magic talent and magic affinity rank.
Of the two, the former gave Link the weakest sense of improvement. He could barely feel any concrete increase in strength from it.
But after spending so long in the magical world, Link wasn't someone who couldn't recognize value.
He knew very clearly that talent-type improvements were the hardest to come by. They might not turn into direct combat power in a short time, but they could steadily and permanently increase the speed of Link's growth.
Applied to Link's status panel, in simpler terms, it meant increasing the experience gain speed for all of Link's abilities.
As for the latter, its significance to Link right now far surpassed all the previous attribute increases.
Because the moment he obtained this ability boost, Link understood what Dumbledore meant by "stabilizing the Legendary Wizard rank."
[Magic Affinity Rank +5]
The direct feeling this attribute gave Link was that the magic power he previously had to rely on the Super Sense Spell to barely perceive had now become visible to the naked eye.
And unlike before, when it had been chaotic and disorderly and required extra mental power to control, the magic power now seemed to possess its own life, and its favorability toward Link had practically been maxed out.
The direct result was that every movement Link made was naturally followed by magic power.
At first glance, this trait didn't seem especially useful, but it would completely change Link's casting experience.
Take the curse magic power Link was most familiar with, for example.
Previously, Link could rely on the skill levels shown on the status panel to freely control this type of magic power and use it for all kinds of attacks.
But that control had been rigid.
The power of curses had never truly acknowledged Link.
So sometimes, the highly corrosive nature of curse magic power would even backfire against Link himself.
Now things were different.
Link could completely ignore the status panel and directly command curse power with his thoughts.
Not only did this further increase his casting speed, but the active cooperation of the curse magic power also pushed his magical control to a ridiculous level.
It could be said that in terms of curse magic power and ordinary water-and-air control magic, the specific numerical value of Link's so-called magical control had already lost its meaning.
Because in those areas, Link's actual capability had already reached the limit.
And this was the true level of a Legendary Wizard.
Thinking of this, Link felt unbearably eager.
He couldn't help opening his eyes and raising both hands.
Curse magic power and water-air power appeared from his left and right palms respectively.
Like little animals acting spoiled toward their master, they rapidly circled around Link's arms nonstop. They even showed faint signs of conflict and opposition as they fought for attention.
But under Link's forceful control, the conflict quickly disappeared. In the end, the two completely different magic powers were compressed together.
Not only did the theoretically expected instant explosion fail to happen, but there were even faint signs of them beginning to fuse into an entirely new kind of magic power.
The sight made the corners of Link's mouth rise uncontrollably.
Because he knew this was proof that he had truly stepped into the realm of Legendary Wizards.
And at that moment, another dark golden notification crossed before Link's eyes.
[Achievement: Legendary Rank - Stage 3 completed!]
[Currently mastered magic powers: Curse, Water, Air!]
[Title obtained: Legendary Wizard!]
[Legendary Wizard: Against magical attacks from wizards below the Legendary rank, power +150%!]
[Note: This title is a passive stackable title. It activates automatically upon acquisition and cannot be changed or removed.]
"Looks like you're quite satisfied with the potion's effects. Although the Dawn Potion could only help you truly enter the realm of Legendary Wizards, and not very deeply at that."
"But considering your special situation, your actual combat strength should have improved even more. Right now, you should at least possess strength close to top-tier Legendary Wizards."
Dumbledore's voice quietly sounded. Clearly, he had already finished taking the potion and recovering long ago.
Hearing this, Link smiled while continuing to stare at the status panel and nodded.
"Indeed. I can feel the improvement in strength, especially my mob-clearing ability. The increase is really huge."
"Of course, the most important thing is that these improvements aren't the kind that feel abrupt and need time to adapt to."
"They're the kind you can fully master the moment you get them. Tsk tsk tsk... As a conventional potion, this thing is really top-tier!"
"The effects of the Dawn Potion really are this strong. A thousand years ago, this was a potion every Legendary Wizard had to drink. Extremely precious. Logically speaking, this kind of potion should never have made its way to us."
"Even if those old Legendary Wizards from the International Confederation of Wizards were unwilling to use it themselves, they should have saved it for juniors with the potential to become Legendary. Yet Harris actually traded it to us."
"Oh? I guess he probably didn't understand how precious this potion was? After all, before drinking it myself, I couldn't understand what 'stabilizing the Legendary Wizard realm' meant either."
"No, I think Harris understood perfectly. He's simply selfish. Most likely, he himself has no hope of entering the Legendary realm in this lifetime."
"So no matter how strong the Dawn Potion is, it's meaningless to him. He might as well exchange it for resources he can actually use."
"Hmm... I admit what you said makes sense. Or rather, this could be considered a case of selling grandpa's fields without feeling any pain?"
"That's an interesting way to put it, though very fitting. But what interests me more is what you meant when you said your mob-clearing ability improved. What does that mean?"
Faced with Dumbledore's question, Link chose silence.
The effect of the Legendary Wizard title had given his mob-clearing ability an absolutely game-changing boost.
Forget ordinary weak wizards.
Even against professor-level wizards like Snape and Professor McGonagall, who were practically the strongest below the Legendary rank, Link now had confidence he could kill them in one hit.
But Link had no way to explain how he knew the term "mob-clearing."
After all, even in the Muggle world, that gaming term probably hadn't been invented yet.
Fortunately, Dumbledore had only asked casually. He was already used to strange terms popping out of Link's mouth from time to time. Seeing that Link had no intention of explaining, he didn't care and changed the topic.
"Alright, we've drifted off topic. Back to the main point. What did you mean earlier about a low-grade weakened version of the Dawn Potion? Can you really reproduce this ancient potion?"
Link hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
"That's right. With the help of Hufflepuff's Golden Cup and some other abilities, I can reproduce it. But compared to the genuine version, the effects of the imitation will be weakened by more than one level."
"Then what about the Dawn Potion itself? Now that you've drunk it, based on your feelings, how much of the weakened version's effects can be preserved?"
"Forget about improvements to magical talent and magic affinity. Materials with similar effects simply don't exist anymore. But some of the other effects can still be retained."
"After all, the original Dawn Potion was effective even on Legendary Wizards. The ceiling is just too high."
"Especially for wizards below the Legendary rank, the lower their realm and strength, the better the effects should be."
Hearing this, Dumbledore looked disappointed at first, but soon shifted his gaze toward Newland and Sigefin nearby, the corners of his mouth rising slightly.
"Looks like some people are about to get lucky."
Hearing Dumbledore say this, Newland only grinned foolishly.
That made Link shake his head helplessly.
After successfully bringing his mother out of Spinner's End and fulfilling his wish, Newland's entire temperament had changed drastically. He had become increasingly cheerful, even somewhat carefree and goofy.
Now, when he stood beside Sigefin, people would even get the feeling that he was the good guy while Sigefin, with his gloomy expression, was the villain.
Of course, anyone who really thought Newland was easy to bully would be in trouble.
Because deep down, Newland was still a cold venomous snake.
Right now, he had merely wrapped himself in the outer shell of a sunny young man.
From a certain perspective, the current Newland was far more dangerous than before.
As for Sigefin, he was also showing an extremely rare expression of excitement. Even his body was trembling slightly.
Clearly, this trip to the International Confederation of Wizards had stimulated him greatly.
After witnessing the current state of his father and fiancée, he desperately wanted to become stronger!
Having ambition was a good thing.
Link smiled faintly and took a sip from his teacup.
"In that case, after we finish signing the final written agreement tomorrow, let's head back. I'm itching to get started too. If things go smoothly, the first batch of weakened Dawn Potions will go to you two."
"Long live the boss! You're my eternal god!"
Newland cheered and jumped up immediately.
That reaction alone showed that the dumbfounded cold look he had earlier was completely fake.
He understood very clearly just how powerful the Dawn Potion was.
Sigefin was even more straightforward.
He directly knelt on one knee before Link and gave him a knight's salute.
That made Link burst into laughter.
Dumbledore beside them also had eyes full of relief.
Whether it was Hogwarts or the British Ministry of Magic, everything was steadily improving.
And it was foreseeable that once these young people fully matured, Hogwarts and the British Ministry of Magic would rise to an entirely new level.
That alone was enough.
Thinking this, the corners of Dumbledore's mouth rose unconsciously.
